I think there are 3 posts in this thread about Covid being less deadly than “typical” winter season Influenza strains below a certain age, like 50 years old for males.
Influenza H1N1 in years 1917-1919 was more deadly in humans than Covid-19
Influenza H2N2 in years 1957-1958 was in the same human fatality range as Covid-19
Influenza H5N1 aka “bird flu” has not caused a human epidemic yet, but seems to kill more than 20% of the humans who have caught it. H5N1 has killed billions of birds.
If you are a male over 50 years old, have type A blood, are overweight, have a heart problem like right atrial enlargement, have COPD, have diabetes, have kidney disease, then Covid-19 infection is something to take extensive steps to avoid.
